1) As it is forbidden to name a child after a wicked person (Yoma 38b), why did the righteous Yitzhar name his son Korach, which was the name of one of Eisav’s sons (Bereishis 36:5)?
2) Korach was very wealthy, where did he get all his money from?
3) Why does the Torah make such a big deal about Korach being swallowed up in the ground. At least once a year we hear stories of major earthquakes happening and entire cities being swallowed up into the ground?
4) The Gemara in Yoma (75a) teaches that the mon [manna] fell at the doorsteps of the righteous, far away from the tents of the wicked, and somewhere in-between for the average. Why wasn’t Moshe able to answer Korach’s argument that he was as righteous as Moshe and Aharon by publicly pointing out that Korach’s mon fell far from his tent, revealing his true wicked core?
5) In this week’s parsha we learn that there is an obligation for the Kohanim to guard the Beis HaMikdosh (18:3). The Mishnah (Tomid, Perek 1) teaches: “In three places the Kohanim would guard the Beis HaMikdosh. In Beis Avtinas, Beis Hanitzois, and Beis HaMoked. If the Kohanim would want to guard the Beis HaMikdosh in more than three places, would they be allowed to, or would it be a problem of ba’al tosif [adding on to mitzvos]?
6) After separating the appropriate portions to be terumah (18:12), can a person make them terumah simply by mentally intending them to be terumah, or must he verbally declare them to be terumah?
